Yeast Extract Glucose Chloramphenicol Medium (YGC-Medium)

Isolate and enumerate yeasts and molds from food samples using Thermo Scientific™ Yeast Extract Glucose Chloramphenicol Medium. Chloramphenicol in the medium is the selective agent inhibiting bacterial growth.

The choice of a suitable medium for enumeration of yeasts and molds from food samples is greatly dependent on the nature of the foodstuff under investigation and the organisms that occur on them. Yeast Extract Glucose Chloramphenicol Agar remains bacteriostatic when inoculated with not greater than 1mL of a 10-1 dilution of food sample and subsequently incubated for not greater than five days at 25°C as is the customary practice in food mycology.
